For the Red Sea Peninsula 650 you could go either one of our Red Sea Reefer Ultimate Return Line Upgrade kits. If you have a big enough pump, you could go with the XXL kit.

See, @Fringe09 tank a few posts above. He runs the XXL kit in his RSR 750 XXL tank

Here's a link to the RSRFK075 kit - it includes everything need to split the return and run two, 3/4in RFG nozzles:

Ordered a full set for circ pumps and return, no moving parts is such a huge bonus factor to this! I mean how could you ever not want more random flow with nothing to jam? Look forward to the nozzles!
Thank you! We received your order, and it will ship out today.
Be sure to come back here an spot a pic of your tank once you have it all up and running :)

Nice! I like it.

The RFG nozzles can be a great compliment to your exiting flow pumps and can helped add that extra dimension to the movement around the tank.

I have a 1" SeaSwirl and have thought about adding one of these to it. Are they only available in slip fittings? Do you make ones that are threaded?


Unfortunately, we don't have a threaded version. But the 1in does just slip-fit over a strandard 1in PVC pipe. You could also split the flow into two 3/4in RFG nozzles and run them that way.

Would the stock Innovative Marine pump (476gph)work with two of these in a IM 50g lagoon? Or, would I need to run two return pumps?

It would work - but depending on what you are trying accomplish , in terms of flow, you might need an upgraded pump.

You'll find the full set of Flow Recommendations for our Nozzles in your FAQ section of our website at: https://vividcreativeaquatics.com/frequently-asked-questions/

To get an effective randomized flow out of two 1/2in RFG Nozzles these are our recommendations for GPH to the nozzles:
Recommended Min: 250-400 GPH
Optimal: 640-670 GPH

The Nozzles will work below the recommended minimum, and will handle far more than 640-670, but are where we think it produces the best results.

Hummmmm I am getting temped with this. I have a Sea Swirl also that is 3/4" with a educator and also have the Chiller output separate with a wide flare nozzle.

Thinking if I should only replace the educator, flare nozzle or both. Decisions?

Great point. Will like to see what comes out to connect to the Sea Swirl before replacing the educator. I think the Chiller output will not have that much flow for the RFG nozzle effect.
